accessibility

We’re constantly working to make charterhousing.co.uk as accessible and usable as possible. We aim to be standards compliant and follow general principles of usability and universal design, which should help all visitors to this website.

Through taking this approach we hope to make our site as inclusive as possible, and also to comply with UK legislation including the Disability Discrimination Act (1995) and Disability Act (2001), which states that it is an offence to discriminate against a disabled person by treating him or her less favourably than others for a reason relating to their disability.
